    Phone Checks - In Australia

    Seems like the Australian immigration / customs authorities are a bit paranoid about some HKers, even if they're Australian Citizens.

    Good thread to follow:

    I feel paranoid about traveling these days. Not only you,but your existence made possible by (the) phone isn't safe, your laptop isn't safe, your shoes aren't safe blah blah.

    On Border Security they are always looking at phones so I assume they have a legal right to do so.

    I assumed you meant you going to Australia.
